IRRIGATION.

In his inaugural addrseS Governor
Stevenson Says:
A speedy enactment OF laws by this
Legislature. Q, By Congress. which ~il
aid our people in the Introduction of
some system Of irrigation Is very i'm
poltant. The future prosperity Of our
State may be truthfUlly said to b. largely
dependent upon favorable Legislation
with regard to this question. The aHri-
cultural sources Of Nevada have be1u
underestimAted. Few Of our own PEG
pie arprrhend even in imagination the
possible material vi the State
if they could be developed and iosieTrd
10y II liberal and comprehensive system
of irrigation. 1t has been demonstrated
by actual experiment that. by aid Of
water. land before supposed utterly
worthless has been made to produce
good crops. A knowledge OF this fact
has induced many people to secur" and
~monopolIze the most accessible streams
Of water in our Safe. one tendency Of
which il to retard and perhaps prevent
that Immigration which we BID much
need. in as much u. our land is uupro-
dLctive without irrigation. II is true
that there Is much waste land in the
State. nnh vast tracts Of land that uTr
ouly ut for grazing purposes. but where
ever water can be obtained the lnnl is
exceedingly productive. Nearly every
crop OF grain. fruit and cereals which
can Ice raised in the temperate ROM can

sagrbrush lands Of Nevada when I'M.
gated. The only impeachment To settle.

hydraulic works for irrigation. Proba-
bly, n much as niuety-fOe per cent. OF
the water in all tho streams of Nevada

and used upon land Il good many huud-
reds of thousands. aud perhaps millions
OF ncres in this State might be re-
claimed and converted into homes for
settlers.

The Gypsies' Costume.

Their usual attire is that of the cold
clothes man. There is nothing to dis
tinguish them by their dress, which is
made up of any kind of wearing apparel
that may have come into their possession.
The women and girls, while dressing in
linen, calico or heavy jeans, frequently
adorn themselves with bright colored
ribbon or two, cheap tawdry jewelry and
have their head enveloped in bandana.
In some rich communities Of gypsles, in
the United States, notably at and near
Dayton, O., they assume the conventional
dress and style of the day. These nomads
in various parts of Europe naturally fol-
low the costumes of the people among
whom or with whom they are living, but
there is no poetry, no romance In the
squalid, filthy apparel of the veritable
gypsy.
The gypsy of the stageis usually attired
like an Italian or Spanish brigand with
short cutaway jacket, flounced shirt, vel
vet knee breeches, silk stockings, pumps,
three cornered hat or mixture of the
turban, his dress sparkling with gold
braid, precious stones and Lake Erie dia-
monds. The gypsy maiden of the same
romantic connection has fieecy white
dress or robes of trailing satin, with bit
of ruche and priceless pearl at her
throat and mantilla thrown about her
raven tresses-the style of a dancing OF
| flower girl of southern Europe. Only q
dazzling brunette, with flashing black
eyes, could successfully personate 6
gypsy, as the race are universally very
dark complexioned, owing principally te
the result of their natural aversion to
| soap and water.-San Francisco Call.

The end was undoubtedly hastened by over
work. While on his trip to the Pacific coast
he overexerted himself. He went through
constant stream of ovations. Then, on his
return to the east. he pitched right into the
political canvass in Illinois. After the cam
paign he returned to Washington completely
worn out, and his strength never returned.
His last political act on the floor of the senate
was on Dec. T, in reference to the establish
nlent of permanent military encampment
near Chicago
Gen. Logan had been one of the most con-
spicuous figures in the military and political
history of the country for the last quarter
century. Ee was born near Murphysboro,
Ills, on Feb 0, 1896. His father had come
from Ireland three years before. In early
life young John was celebrated for his horse
manship His education was picked up here
and there He enlisted in the First Illinois
regiment for the Mexican war at tho age of
20, He received lieutenants commission
and served with credit. On his return he
studied law and was admitted to the bar in
! 1851 His political career began before this.
| He had been elected county clerk at the age
| of 49, In 1858 he was a member OF the legls-
lature, and in 1858 was elected to congress.
When Sumter was fired upon Logan drew his
sword for the cause of the Union. He left the
Capitol for the army, and entered the ranks
of regiment from his native state. He
, fought with Grant for nearly three years.
The principal engagements in which he took
part were Bull Run, Belmont, Fort Donelson,
Port Gibson, Vicksburg and Kenesaw noun
tain, whero he succeeded Mcpherson as COM
mander of the army of the Tennessee. He
was severely wounded at Donelson.
He was returned to congress after the war,
where he since remained with the exception
of one short interval In 1871 he was pro-
moted to the senate. His subsequent career
is well known. In 1884 he was nominated by
acclamation for vice-president at the Repub-
| lican nntionnl convention

THE DEATH SCENE,

Around the bedside of the dying soldier
were his devoted wife, their son, Manning
Logan, and their daughter, Mrs Tucker.
The general breathed his last on his wife's
arm She had not left his bedside for four
days. From constant watching and working
to ease his pain and comfort him she had be
come completely exhausted. Her wonderful
will alone sustained her. lthad been charac-
teristic of the generals previous illnesses that
he would be sick almost to death. He would
on these occasions always feel that he was
going to die. His moroseness prevented him
from rallying quickly, but his ever faithful
wife cheered him each time into more hope
full state of mind AT tho beginning Of his
late illness he said he felt it was to be his last
But Mrs. Logan suggested to him i'll her
laughing way that if he had only died on the
many occasions that he insisted he would his
lives would have been more numerous than
those attributed to the cat.
Mrs. Logan had been her husbands guild
ing star through life. To her tact and strong
character has been attributed his political

HOUSE IN WHICH LOGAN DIED.

The old Stone house in which Gen. Logan
died is SO called because it belonged formerly
to the Stone estate. 1t is a brick structure,
with granite foundations 1t contains about
twenty rooms. These have been furnished
with relics of furniture that Mrs Logan pur-
chased at second hand stores in Washington,
and collection of greater variety it would
be pretty hard to find, though all of the
furniture is substantial, and much of it pos
sesses historical value. Relics of the war are
found on all sides. The most precious treas
ures to Mrs. Logan now are the shelves and
cupboards that the general put up with his
own hands. The whole interior is arranged
in a manner that renders the house one of the
most comfortable in Washington, and re-
fleets endless credit on the excellent taste and
Judgment of Mrs Logan.

Where the Water Goes.

1t is estimated that each year from
"a, 1000 to So, 900 cubic miles Of rain falls
upon the surface of the globe. What
becomes of it? The rivers seldom carry
off one-half, except in regions of close
grained rocks; the rest disappears by
evaporation, by the absorption of the
earth, and by being taken up by plants,
animals, and mineral oxidation. In
most parts of temperate latitudes the re-
moval by rivers is from third to two
lifths of what falls; in warm latitudes
the amount is less and may be under
one-tenth. The Mississippi carries away
one-fourth of the rainfall of its drainage
area; the Missouri, three-twentieths; the
OHIO, one-fourth; the rivers of England
and Wales, nine-siXteenths.- .-Arkansaw
